VUJU, VUGHIN, CHANGAN.

The Rev. A.C. Moule has given in the T'oung Pao, July, 1915, pp. 393 seq., the Itinerary between Lin Ngan (Hang Chau) and Shang Tu, followed by the Sung Dynasty officials who accompanied their Empress Dowager to the Court of Kúblái after the fall of Hang Chau in 1276; the diary was written by Yen Kwang-ta, a native of Shao King, who was attached to the party.

The Rev. A.C. Moule in his notes writes, p. 411: "The connexion between Hu-chou and Hang-chou is very intimate, and the north suburb of the latter, the Hu-shu, was known in Marco Polo's day as the Hu-chou shih. The identification of Vughin with Wu-chiang is fairly satisfactory, but it is perhaps worth while to point out that there is a place called Wu chen about fifty li north of Shih-men; and for Ciangan there is a tempting place called Ch'ang-an chen just south of Shih-men on a canal which was often preferred to the T'ang-hsi route until the introduction of steam boats."

LXXVI., p. 192. "There is one church only [at Kinsay], belonging to the
Nestorian Christians."

It was one of the seven churches built in China by Mar Sarghis, called Ta p'u hing sze (Great Temple of Universal Success), or Yang yi Hu-mu-la, near the Tsien k'iao men. Cf. Marco Polo, II., p. 177; VISSIERE, Rev. du Monde Musulman, March, 1913, p. 8.
